    One of just 1000 physical CDs pressed of my first album, She Makes Noise. Replete with references to social music websites that no longer exist! Once they're gone, I'm not pressing anymore, and this is pretty much the only collectable item that exists as far as my first album goes, so this is your chance to grab one before I'm famous (I joke...). Let me know if you'd like me to sign it for you.

lyrics

Asphalt dogs and china dolls
Dancing the night with my back to the wall
Got a dead man’s deck and a cowboy smile
Trying my best just to breathe for a while
And I’m running the postman down
I don’t live for a ring or material things
But a letter is in that pack and I want it back

Don’t know if I’m still alive
The man with the cards keeps on smiling tonight
Don’t know if I’m up or down
But I’m up for another round
So deal me a hand I can lose one more grand

They call me Sinnerman Jack
Pleased to meet you
I’ve an unnatural knack
For playing this game
I’ve got a gun in my pack
Your guess if it’s loaded
And a cross that I won playing blackjack in Tokyo

There’s a satchel of offhanded weight
Hanging off of my side and affecting my gait
Its intention is my concern
There’s a future it lives to burn
And a memory gone that compels me to carry on

Seventh night of absent light
Nothing shines on this frozen landscape
Firing range to check my aim
You should only know the hand I play

The women all look the same
Except the one who’s been hiding the Ace of Spades
It’s probably just the light
Or the Mishka’s impaired my sight
But I’m mesmerized by her frame
There’s a fragment of me that remembers

I know her name…

But the die has been cast and the dawning is come at last

I am a composer, a writer, a singer and an engineer.
I create jazz and rock and a child of both.
I create music with my brother as Wire Spoke Wheels.

I create complex and intricate things.
I try to create beautiful things.
I create because Art sanctifies humanity.
I create for an American meritocracy.
I create for a time when art may live again. ... more
